Indiana Jones Map

Note: This is not a paid advertisement for the map, I just think it is really neat.

I am a huge fan of Indiana Jones. The combination of archaeology, history, and geography has made for fascinating tales of adveture of varying quality. After a life of watching the movies, viewing the Young Indian Jones Chronicles on television, and playing the computer games, I realized the series operates on a quality-variable relationship:

Fighting Nazis for Biblical artifacts equals greatness (Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade)

Now there is a way for one to geek out on Indiana Jones geography and help the Disable American Veterans (DAV). Artist Matt Busch has made a map with the approval of Lucas Arts which displays all the discoveries of Indiana Jones. The map shows artifacts from the movies, novels, television show, games, comics, and amusement park ride. While I will not endorse buying the map, I do recommend one check out the website and video below for images of one good looking map.
